Are you looking for an exciting way to support your local businesses and give back to community in a unique way? GenNext’s new event series – Take Home TBay – is the perfect opportunity for you to get involved and show your #LocalLove for community!
The GenNext Take Home TBay campaign will feature a variety of partnerships with various local businesses throughout 2021 to offer a product or experience that will engage and support our local community. Take Home TBay aims to support local businesses while simultaneously making an impact for a better tomorrow with a portion of all proceeds being donated back to the community through the United Way.
These experiences will happen every other month, and will range from a fun family/couple’s paint night where you can showcase your creativity with loved ones, a home cooking kit to prepare a delicious home cooked meal, or even a game night kit to bring out some competition and fun amongst players!

Check out what Carte Blanche is all about below and tell us this isn’t a match made in heaven for a paint night party…
Carte Blanche Meaning: complete freedom to act as one wishes / a clean slate; a fresh page; a blank cheque / write your own story; choose your own path
why carte blanche? we want this to be so much more than a place you have food + drink this is where you savour, slow down, breathe + enjoy. A place you come to meet your best friend, a place you bring your mom for a morning coffee. This is where connection + conversation is priority, where you choose presence + intention, where you have gratitude + reflection. This is where you are reminded that life is as you choose it, that anything is possible, that you are the author of your story. Sometimes it’s the small things that make all the difference; a worthwhile + familiar pause to enjoy a cup of coffee, a morning spent catching up with a friend, a long hug, a photo to remember a meaningful moment, two deep breaths + a smile.
PAY IT FORWARD
If you want to give back even more, select the ‘Pay It Forward’ kit option. All ‘Pay It Forward’ painting kits will be donated to United Way partner agencies so that their clients and children in need can also enjoy this fun activity! This month we have selected EVERGREEN A UNITED NEIGHBOURHOOD as the charity of choice!!
PLUS – have DOUBLE the impact as The Creative Kitz will donate 1 EXTRA painting kit for every one that is purchased and donated! So 1 Pay It Forward Purchase = 2 Gnome Painting Kitz for children and youth to enjoy who would maybe not be able to afford them themselves.
